No Time to Cry (The Dream Guardian Series)

Description

What if all your nightmares were real?

Sixteen-year-old Terryn Lofton crumples with pain when she gets too far from her twin brother, Trigg. It started the same day as his mysterious heart attack that has since taken them from doctors to specialists looking for answers. Terryn doesn’t have time for another mystery. So, she keeps the pain to herself and calls it the “twin tug.”

Her overbearing silence drives Trigg away. Yet, with no parents of their own, Trigg needs Terryn more than ever. Since the heart attack, he has had a repeating night terror that ends when a dark-haired, warrior woman shoots him with silver arrows. Terryn is the only one who can safely wake him from his terrorized sleep. Terryn senses Trigg is not being completely truthful about his dream, but because of her own secrets is hardly in a position to judge.

Then something impossible happens. In the doctor’s office, following Trigg’s third sleep study, the woman warrior from his dream waits. Trigg tries to run, but escaping from a dream is not as easy when you’re in the waking world.

Confronted by the possibility his night terrors are more than they seem, the twins finally reveal their secrets, which send them on an epic adventure beyond time and across dimensions to save each other—if the dark creatures that lurk Between don’t kill them first.
